Shiraz RIP
Today Shiraz was to turn 14 years old. It is not to be. Two weeks ago I expected to be out and about with her running free and celebrating her life today. Instead one very sad Friday evening on Oct 7th I found her peacefully asleep forever. It came as a total shock. Shiraz was still very young spirited and we had had a great day together.. still jumping gates as she always had, enjoyed her dinner and no sign of anything wrong. To be honest when she wasn’t around I thought she was off on one of her little visiting adventures so off I went to find her..
She never got to be an old slow dog. I now feel very happy for her, that she didn’t go through any hardship that old age can create but I feel robbed of those special times you spend with your old friend and I miss her terribly. She was always the first in on the couch for any tummy rubs and love that anyone visiting would give,, She had a heart of gold and not a nasty bone in her body.
No doubt she will be smiling happily down on us and remembering her wonderful life she had and now jumping the clouds with her dear mother Maddie and dad the Hoons.
Shiraz you were one truly very special girl and I cry every time I see that little blue coat you wore in your last year with us. RIP xxx

TRINITY RIP 15 YEARS my friend
15 years old.. we have just celebrated her birthday… and not even two weeks later…
Ive just been down memory lane looking back at some of her old photos.. Of course now they are mainly on my ph so much harder to find amidst the billions I take!! Trinitys mum was Tyler and her daughter still here is Tui . She leaves behind many grandchildren (Sue, Bobbie, Hanna here), & many great grandchildren,,,,,
Im struggling here as she will be truly missed. She was just the most loveable rogue you could ask for.. She was a supreme tail chaser and poor Charlie in the earlier years had no fur on her tail due to Trinty!! They are now buried next to each other as they were the best of friends for many years.,
Trinity had two litters in her time and we kept our beautiful Tui and of course her handsome son Bill also sired many litters.
She has become a bit of an Instagram star in her old age just because she’s old and so beautiful I think.. There is absolutely nothing more special than an old dog..
Trinity I am sure I will still be looking out for you for a long time to come. You have always cheered me up when I have been down with that wonderful cheeky smile. I know that stubborn streak of yours is continued on in many of your progeny!!
.Yet another one of those saddest days in your life today xxx

Mishka’s Pups
A gorgeous bunch of pups from Mishka and Sergio. She is an awesome Mum and the pups are all very relaxed happy wee Guys. They are 6 weeks old now.
RIP Bill
The mighty Kauri has fallen. One of the most awesome dogs I have bred. Bill has sadly today gone to doggy heaven. Although Bill didn’t live here, him and Tony are like family to us and the news of Bills passing has shattered us all.
Tony we send lots of hugs and love your way as he was your best mate ever and we know how much you will miss him.
We were lucky enough to spend some time with him this month. And with his sister Trinity.
Bill has sired many pups and will be remembered by many people. Just a few pics to share of him by as he grew up. Bill we will always love you.xxx
RIP My Charlie’s Angel
Charlie RIP 5 Jan 2006- 17 June 2020
For those of you who have lost a furry friend you will know the pain. I would like to share a few happy memories of my 14 1/2 years with my friend Charlie.
Charlie was getting old and really slow but she still had a happy spirit in her till the end. Only yesterday morning she happily greeted some visitors and enjoyed her pats. She even wanted to come on our walk in the afternoon. However dinner time came and she didn’t want to get off her bed. I put a blanket over her and gave her my usual kiss and cuddle before my bed and that is where I found Charlie this morning. She went very peacefully. She is my first dog to have just not woken up and I feel very happy she didn’t suffer. Only a few days ago she snuck out under the gate and caught up with the gang for a walk the dear old girl. It was a slow trip home but she was so happy to be out.
Charlie always loved children from a small pup and would allow Maia and Cast to dress her up and play Drs and nurses and she was just amazingly patient. Any children that came to see us she would follow around and make friends with. When Trinity came along she would hold Charlies tail. For years poor Charlie had very little hair on it!!
She was a great mum to five litters. But man did she put me through some stressful times when she’d go and hide in a burrow deep in a bank to have the babies. I had to pull her out from a tunnel as long as my body one time only half an hour before she had her babies.. I grabbed her front paws and Greg pulled my feet.. Adrenalin kick supreme!!
She loved her cuddles but she hated your face in hers although that never stopped me.
I have gone through some of my photos of our time together Id like to share.. I think they tell more of a story than my words can. All day I have just expected her little head to pop up and say what are you doing mum? Trinity now takes place as our eldest here and its going to seem odd not to see both those old girls in their bed at the front door
Charlie ends an era here really as she was the last doggy connection to all my original border collies so I hope she catches up with all of them tonight in doggy heaven Sambo and Jessie, Tyler and Hoons, Maddie and Brucie. Charlie was always low in our pack pecking order but I know she had many fun times and I know her old friends will look forward and welcome her up in doggy heaven
Charlie you were my angel and I will miss that little face I fell in love with all those years ago. Rest in peace my friend. You will be very missed but never forgotten. xxx
tylerwild_bordercollies on instagram
My favourite media these days is instagram and now that so many of us are home I hope you will enjoy my updates. And please be sure to pm me through instagram if you have a tylerwild pup so I can follow you. Right now it is a scary world out there and we here at Tylerwild are hunkering down. These dogs of mine just don’t get this ‘social distancing’ bit so we are sadly saying no to any visitors for the moment.
car trip
The happy part for all the pups out there with family that normally work away from home are the chances are you are now working from home.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Hanna’s pups and delighted with our wee Tokio who has stayed with us. Shes a real delight and made even more special after the very sad news of her dad passing away unexpectedly.. Ozzie was an awesome man and his passing has bought much sadness. He is also father to our Sue, Bobbie and now Tokio in our Tylerwild clan. We were very lucky to have spent some time with him recently when he came to stay and mated with Hanna. Thank you Anita.. RIP Ozzie
I will include a few pics here of Hanna’s pups but with the ability to take videos and photos on our phones today I mainly posted regular stories(which only last 24 hours) and updates on instagram. tylerwild_bordercollies Look out for me!!
I have pups due in May and will continue as I always have done to send puppy owners videos and photos as I take them (often daily!!). In the meantime everybody please keep safe, stay at home, wash your hands regularly, keep your distance at all times. We have family in Italy who have been in quarantine for sometime now so we know the consequences if we don’t do this now. The one message they make very clear is do not panic buy. Food and resources will remain but panic buying makes it hard for the suppliers. I happened to go into our supermarket this morning for a few supplies and was horrified to see the trolleys packed high and the lines of people trying to check out. This behavior is not helping the crisis situation.
